With a class full of boys, our annual Mother's Day Tea was in jeopardy...
Never fear, I said, I've got an idea!
Let's have a paint party!
We began our time together with a reading of Guess How Much I Love You.
Then Mrs. Renee, our guest artist and speaker, gave us some instructions on how to blend colors and add highlights to show light.
Each mom or grandma had a canvas, and each child had a canvas.
When displayed together, they make one big picture.
The moms and their children painted together for at least an hour,
then we gave them a break and let them have some quiet.
Mrs. Renee' talked to us about God's love and deep and wide it truly is.
It was finally time to eat snack.
We had a paint pallet full of fruit and cheese and crackers.
Then, for the piece de resistance, a blank canvas of a cupcake!
It was the most fun to decorate our cupcakes with all difference types of toppings.
So thankful for these kids and their amazing moms!
The finished product , each child wrote "I Love You to the Moon" in their precious 5 year old print, and the mom wrote her part, "and back". I hope that these paintings will find their way into each home and serve as a reminder of this special time together. I hope they become a treasure that will keep the memory of preschool alive in each family's heart.
